Well, I tried the "meeting friends for fun" line on them, but that guy was a dick and sent me right into interrogation. I decided to be honest in there, since I had emails on my laptop talking about the show, etc etc. I have a feeling I was flagged, actually, though I have no reason to be.

Once they know you're involved in porn, you're flagged. I was honest with them and told them what I do for a living. The conversation immediately became hostile and went to "so you make child pornography?". It was a horrible experience. Ever since that time, Canada Customs grabs me up each time. :(

im confused... why isnt canada letting its own citizens out of the country?

It's not the Canadian customs... it's the US customs

So does this ever happen coming from the States going into Canada? If you get in once or twice okay, are you generally okay from there on out? Or at some point are they likely to snag you up when you're coming in, and then it will start happening every time?

When coming from the US I show my Canadian passport and when going to the US from Canada I show my US passport.... never have a problem now :glugglug

That's fucked up...

:(

Damn, that sucks. Hopes he makes it without missing anything fun.

Hey guys.

Everything is cool now, I was brought into us customs in Toronto. They seem to want to "chat" with me everytime I enter the US. I don't have a criminal record or anything out of the ordinary. I just travel to the US alot for business and ever since I got denied entry 3 years ago I have been running into hassles.

I spoke to the inspector and he asked all the regular questions they usually ask. He could see that I go through this thing all the time and he cut me a break. He approved me for travel to the US but by that time I had already missed my flight. I went back to the ticketing agency and asked to be rebooked, the next flight going to LA actually connected thru Calgary but if I took that flight I would have to go through customs in Calgary. LOL!

I figured if they gave me a hard time in Toronto and approved me there, then they would have given me an even harder time in Calgary. I'd rather get stuck in Toronto than in Calgary (no offence Calgarians!)

Anyways I am rebooked for tomorrow morning, hopefully it will be a lot less painless than today. Hope you guys rip it up tonite in LA :thumbsup

DH

lol, Okay but let's say you're coming from the States and you don't have a Canadian passport. Does this sort of thing ever happen to US citizens going into Canada?

why don't ppl get it??

Teh US customs won't let Canadians into the country..lol

well at least I know I"m not the only one who can't get in anymore..:(

Not sure... I just show my Canadian passport when going from the US to Canada and I don't have a problem. The people at the US Consulate in Toronto suggested I do it this way

That really sucks

Never bring laptops with emails or data that may come back to haunt you when your crossing the border. I learned this the hard way.



Any Canadians ever mention owning a US corporation while trying to cross the border?
